Hi! Here another chapter, enjoy it!
Chapter 10: A little scare.
Kitty woke up slowly, had to blink a couple of times because the morning light bothered her, was disoriented ... Where was she? ...
The female cat looked at her side and realized when she saw Puss sleeping. They had fallen asleep and it was already dawn!
-Puss! - she called trying to wake him up but it didn't work so she started to move him. He growled slightly - Puss! - called him again.
- A little while longer - he said sleepily.
-It already dawned! - she said. Her boyfriend suddenly woke up to realize.
-What?! - he exclaimed.
-We must go but now! - Kitty insisted.
-Oh hell ... - complained him, since he should be in the palace at that time as a bodyguard. What explanations would he give? - Yes, you're right! - He added getting up quickly and helped his girlfriend stand up.
-I hope you don't have problems - she said sadly, since Kitty didn't know what punishments they gave - In case it helps you, I slept much better being by your side - Kitty said with a smile. The orange cat kissed her tenderly on the lips.
-I think the same, my revolutionary - he said kissing her again.
- Can we see each other today? - she asked between amusing kisses.
-I hope so- he said in the same situation - ... I must go.
-The last one - said Kitty deepening the kiss more, causing fun to her boyfriend - I hope you do well.
-As you - said stroking her face.
- Goodbye - she said and before leaving, she gave him another playful and small kiss.
When he saw her jump into the other house, he shouted in a funny way.
- It's never enough eh!
- No! - she said with a mischievous smile and finally left there.
He shook his head, there was no case with her.
Kitty asked herself the next question. Was it normal that he had barely separated from Puss and was already missing him?
"I do not think so" she told herself and laughed internally.
This time Kitty has been with him, even though they were together recently ... it has made a lot of difference in her life, some time ago she wasn't really happy ... the last time was when her parents were alive, from then on everything was misfortunes but now ... it was different. Puss made things and living less painful, even meetings were addictive, as they wanted to see each other more often and spend more time together. They were much closer each day, they looked at each other and they knew more or less how their mood was.
It was funny because in the high zone they had their process, it was tedious and less fun. At least Puss and Kitty could do the things they wanted, had that freedom and they let themselves go for the moment until they reached a point where meeting were improvised.
As now... The idea was going through an idea to the female cat, since it was probable that Puss had problems meeting today at night. And that's what she wanted to avoid so she would give a "little push", it will be fun.
But first... The female cat had to deal with her friend and was already in front of the door, she sighed ...
1 ... 2 ... 3
Kitty came in.
Claire looked at her angry and worried at the same time.
- I just want to remind you, you're not my mother to look at me that way - she warned.
-Yes, but at least you could have warned me that you wouldn't arrive. I thought something had happened to you!
- It's not that bad! I can take care of myself! - She excused herself.
-It's not that, you said you should do something and when you say that, there's a risk of getting caught - she said.
Right ... How could she get the tangent without saying she was with Puss if she doesn't even "know" who he is?
- I entertained in the tavern - said Kitty.
- And that was what you should do? That's why you left before the meeting? - Claire accused.
Kitty hated lying to her, but there was no other choice.
- Let's see ... They asked me for help in a robbery, I did it and then we went to the tavern is all, it is not necessary to put yourself as a mother goose or anything - said Kitty -That was all.
Claire looked at her ... not believing at all.
-Some time ago, I noticed that you are strange and you are hiding something from me - she reflected - Do you know you can trust me right?
-I know but nothing happens to me and if so, I would tell you - she confirmed to her friend.
-In that I believe you, the problem is that you leave without telling me anything and before you did it - Claire said.
Oh God ... she did not miss any...
- Okay ... - she finally said accessing the last resort - I'm investigating a way to overthrow the King once we get out of here.
Her friend was surprised to hear that.
-Are you crazy? - Claire said - You're playing with fire!
-You saw it? That's why I didn't want to tell you, I can't even explain to you - accused Kitty,
-I'm sorry ... in that case, how will you plan that? - she asked.
-The letter that I found that day in that house is the key, especially Princess Amelia, I feel that with her we can liberate the kingdom and in the process she can recover her place. This is the only proof we have for now - she explained.
- But ... To whom shall we present that? - she asked interested.
-I don't know ... It's what I'm investigating - she answered - Maybe if we find her we'll have answers.
- The idea isn't so crazy - Claire agreed.
-I think so ... - said the dark female cat - That's why I'll leave you in charge of this letter, you can take care of her better than me - Kitty added by passing the letter - You could mention it to Joey maybe he has some information.
-It's true - she said in agreement - And don't worry about the letter, I'll take care of this.
-Of that, I have no doubt - the black female cat said - Hey. And what did you speak yesterday at the meeting?
-They would take care of the carts and we would see the list. They also told us to collect food and medicine since the trip would be long - she said.
-Ok, that we can hide it in the basement of the house- said Kitty.
-The same said Joey - added her friend - We still don't have a date but this will serve to lower our guard.
-I think it's okay - she said yawning widely - Does it bother you if I go to sleep? I'm tired.
Her friend shook her head and Kitty waved goodbye. She had been saved from the interrogation and best of all, it wasn't a lie at all and she won a new excuse to be able to leave.
The female cat sat on her bed and in a short time fell asleep thinking about the beautiful moment that had happened with Puss.
For Puss, it was easier to get rid of Joey telling him that he got excited in the tavern with some young ladies. The real problem was his obligation in the palace. He couldn't give an excuse like that.
- Until you deign to appear around here - said Dulcinea annoyed.
-I'm sorry princess, I was busy with a case in the barracks - said Puss, was the only thing that occurred to him.
-First you go and replace your partner then you get involved in another matter. Clearly, you are avoiding me, since that isn't your duty anymore, just worry about watching over my safety - accused the white cat - and thanks me that I haven't told my father.
- It wasn't my intention, just that I was used to that routine and cooperate with the Guard where I belong - He said - I don't want to offend you but I don't have the skills of a bodyguard. I understand that they have a formation of years where they dominate several aspects that I don't know - added the orange cat because thanks to Joey, he knew that information, his partner had said how complicated it was to enter that division and it was a rigorous training. Almost the entire squadron noticed the Princess's whims.
Dulcinea was silent, she didn't know how to defend herself against that.
-What matters is that your duties are others- was the only thing she said and left him alone.
The princess was angry, her plans weren't working yet and the worst thing is that her father had already warned her about that training ...
But she wanted Puss at her side!
Even she was beginning to suspect that he had someone, it couldn't be that a few months ago she could use him and Puss did without question, Dulcinea could insinuate him and he fell without obstacles ... And everything changed into something of days!
She had to do something to tie him up! And worst of all, her sisters were surpassing her!
For that reason she went to her father to claim what had happened with Puss, she wanted him one hundred percent by her side. So, the King sent for the Royal Guard at his desk.
"Just think about what Kitty says when she faces the problems" - he told himself to ignore the nerve that was causing this situation, as he walked towards the King. Puss knocked on the door when he was in front of it.
- With your permission, highness - he said.
-Come in - said the King.
To his surprise, he didn't notice him upset.
-They told me your last actions and you neglected your new work- accused.
-I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm trying to give my best but it's difficult for me because I don't have the knowledge to do what you requested, - he explained.
- Do you feel safe doing it? - He asked.
- Being honest, no. I apologize for accepting something I didn't know, in addition they requested my help in the barracks for an investigation where I perform much better - the orange cat told him - I don't want to despise what you offered me and I appreciate your confidence but I'm afraid that I'm not the one. If I have to do my work, I want to do it correctly.
The King just nodded and stared at him.
-I repeat my apology King Antonio - repeated Puss.
- Okay - he finally said -I value your sincerity but tell me one thing. Do you want to continue?
-No... I just want to continue with my old tasks- he answered.
-If it's like that, you'll go back to your old tasks but as punishment, you'll stay on guard tonight, because that's what you like to do the most - he said with some malice.
- As ordered, your highness - said Puss.
-And that doesn't happen again. Now go - he demanded.
The orange cat nodded and said goodbye with a bow. It didn't go so bad, the best thing is that he wouldn't have Dulcinea around harassing him, bad ... he wouldn't see Kitty tonight.
He went to the barracks again. Luckily he met Joey and told him immediately what happened.
-Great! You have freed yourself from her! - said his friend happily.
-It's a good thing ... I thought I'd have my head cut off or something, - he joked.
-I think the King knew and only promoted you because of the demands of his little daughter - said the golden cat in a mocking tone.
Puss laughed at the cheap imitation.
- But don't let your guard down, be careful anyway, remember, she wanted to give you power to raise over her sisters, so there's the possibility of trying again - Joey warned.
-Don't worry about that, I've also forgotten her completely - Puss said in a sure way - In fact I feel silly remembering how I fell every time in her games.
Joey was glad that his friend had overcome her, he thought it would take longer, Puss was in love with her.
-There are things that I don't discuss - he joked.
-Very funny - he said ironically.
-I think you've kept yourself busy with those ladies, I say ... They've done a good job - he kept joking.
-Said the one who is practically married - counterattacked. Joey glared at him.
- Anyway, tomorrow we'll have to celebrate - he proposed.
-I agree - added the orange cat, happy with the idea.
-In the tavern, there will be a great party with dance in different environments. I can accompany you for a while since I must be with you already know.
- Besides married, you're macabeo - joked Puss. His friend glared at him again. (Macabeo: Chilean word, referring to person who is bossy by his wife xD something like henpecked I think D:)
- Are you going to stop? - He asked raising an eyebrow.
-No, it's my moment and I'm not going to waste it - he said teasing him with a broad smile on his face.
- Very funny - he said ironically - Leaving that aside, I have guard duty at night, so I'll be able to accompany you.
-I don't know if that's good or bad - Puss said ironically.
-Really? - claimed his friend, glaring at him again.
-Ok, I'll stop - he said laughing - I hope it's a quiet night...
If Puss thought it was going to be a quiet work shift ... he was very wrong, that same night, Kitty's band was planning an assault on supplies, which she accepted to help. Although they had agreed that, they would lower their guard to avoid attracting attention, this case warranted it since winter was approaching and diseases were the order of the day. As expected, the kingdom wouldn't support the lower area but they weren't going to stay with their arms crossed, of course not.
At that moment, the thief was on the way with the band. She, on the other hand, didn't want to do it because she had "promised" to Puss that she would "try" to participate less in this, that is, it was quite strange to have a girlfriend to steal and he is a guard, besides the fact that she continued to risk her life is what he didn't want. However, Kitty couldn't leave those labors aside either, helping in that way she had always done. At least she had the chance to see him, taking the positive side of this whole thing.
As for his part of the work, was to receive the merchandise at some point near where the robbery was made, she run away from there, while others distracted the guards. The female cat was hidden in the darkness waiting for the signal, smiled slightly when she saw Puss talking with Joey, he could recognize that silhouette meters from where she was.
Suddenly the signal was activated, Kitty had to run away, because soon the guard's alarm would sound. The dark female cat ran quickly and could visualize some of her partners with things in their hand, he threw them to Kitty and she jumped holding them in the air. She could see that other guards were already running inside that area but didn't see Puss.
- There's one! - said one - Shoot! - ordered and the archers pointed. Kitty jumped from one side to the other, the moment she did a somersault in the air, an arrow brushed her near the shoulder, causing her to lose her balance, falling to a nearby ceiling in a resounding way.
- Oh shit! - she complained trying to ignore the pain because if she stayed there, it was the end of the game.
Puss was frozen to see the figure of Kitty almost collapsing from the wound that caused the arrow, it was a great relief when he saw her run again.
Luckily, another group of thieves appeared and the guards were dispersing. The orange cat pretended to be chasing some of them but his real interest was Kitty. He managed to see that she was heading south, so he took a shortcut to the roof and saw that she ran quickly approaching him, without Kitty noticing. Puss grabbed her arm.
-Shh, it's me - he said covering her mouth because she was about to scream.
- You scared me! - she said agitated and surprised at the same time.
- You scared me too - he said seriously looking at the wound. He took her arm to examine her shoulder closer.
- Auch - she complained and understood the answer he had said.
-Why did you come here? What had we talked about? - He asked seriously, he really had been scared.
-Puss ... I couldn't refuse this time ... I know about the agreement but ... we need it, it is very urgent - she said showing him the bag with the medicine - We have many sick people and the worst thing is that they are dying ... - she explained a little guilty, because she had worried him.
Puss embraced her surprisingly.
- I thought you'd get caught when I saw you fall to the roof - he said.
- How little faith do you have me? - she asked in a joking tone, he shook his head with some humor.
- Be more careful for the next time - he said - I don't want anything to happen to you.
-I promise I'll have it - she answered and gave him a tender kiss - Hey ...
- Tell me - said looking into her eyes.
-I loved to fall asleep next to you last night - Kitty said, he laughed with a lot of grace. He forgot the tense moment that he had lived.
- Believe me, I enjoyed it just like you - he said laughing.
- They didn't do you problems in your work? - she asked.
-Something like that, I was discharged as a bodyguard and went back to my old duties, beside I have a penance of doing a shift today - he explained.
-Well ... you got it cheap, I thought you would be suspended forever - she said - I'm glad you don't have to be near that princess harassing you all the time - she added narrowing her eyes. This surprised Puss.
-Why do you say that? - he asked, he didn't think she would notice that.
-Have not you noticed? - she replied - The way she looks at you ... as if you were a kind of trophy - she replied - If she puts her hand on you I won't answer for my actions - she warned. He laughed with more desire, it caused him tenderness to see her in defending what is hers.
- What are you laughing at? - she asked a bit offended.
-You are my angel who takes care of the evils - he said caressing her cheek. Kitty smiled at his words and touched the hand that caressed her.
-You have to leave ... they won't take long to ask for reinforcement - he said with a touch of sadness holding his hands - And try to see that wound and not get infected.
-I don't want to leave if I'm honest ... -said Kitty sadly, she hated to say goodbye ...
- I know, I don't either - he said - But ... - he said grabbing her chin affectionately - Tomorrow there is activity in the tavern. Would you like to go?
-Of course ... although there is a detail ... - she answered - Did you know Claire is my friend, also she is your best friend's girlfriend and that they will go?
Puss was surprised, that is, he knew about the relationship but had no idea they were friends in common with Kitty, none of them knew about the relationship they both had and for the moment, they wanted it to be kept secret.
-It's just a bit of difficulty, it will be more fun, we have to be careful - she said amused.
-I like the idea - he supported with a smile - See you tomorrow night then?
-Of course - she answered.
They said goodbye with an affectionate kiss and Kitty left slowly to enjoy until the last contact and softness of his hand, looking him straight in the eyes.
The female cat went to leave the things to the headquarters of the band where they distributed the medicine in nursing, which was her friend Claire collaborating in the place, immediately took her to heal the wound. In the course she found out that two of her companions had been captured as reinforcement had arrived as Puss warned her ... This saddened her, everyone knew it was difficult for them to return.
- Ready - said his friend – You'll end up with a map of scars with so many wounds, although this was only a scratch.
-Yes, I didn't think they would send the archers- she said a little sadly.
-What's going on? - she asked.
- That now we are less ... it will make things difficult for us and the worst of all, is that we can't do anything to rescue them, it is unfair - she replied.
-It's true - she agreed - It's the bad side of this work ... I wish they could make a revolution in there but they wouldn't get anything out - the two-colored cat added.
-At least ... - she said thoughtfully - The day we escape from here, they make a rebellion ...
-It may be ... the kingdom would have something else to worry about and wouldn't give a lot with so many trouble spots ...
-I'll tell the leader, finally, he can worry about that, we already have a lot of work to do - said Kitty.
- I agree - Claire said. - You're going to have to excuse me, but I have to help the sick.
-Don't worry- she answered - I wait for you here?
- No, go home, I'll have for a while so you can rest - your friend replied.
Kitty nodded and before leaving the headquarters, he mentioned the idea of the boss, who liked him, and he was thirsty for revenge, so he was much more excited. After this, the thief went home to sleep peacefully thinking about her beloved Puss.
